Dear Paul Taylor,
Nicely done website! I can appreciate the work as I have spent several
years now too trying to learn computer and photography which are both
ongoing art forms in themselves.
I love the rose red copper glaze shown on one of your vaces as well as the
green crackle glazes. Do you currently have any recipies or glaze formulas
you would care to share. I especially love the crackles you do. What cone
do you fire to? You have just beautiful work.
Sincerely,
Llewellyn Kouba
